I took a look at it but I can get gluten free vitamins at the same levels from my local grocery store for much, much less expense.

Do they also include the extra ingredients like the Probiotics and glutamine? What brands are you refering to? I am having trouble finding a good multi.

Me to. Thats why I asked about it. One vitamin with probiotics, digestive enzymes and extra vitamins and lipids for ciliac deficiencies in one pill. I would like to know what you use cuz this gluten free organic diet is expensive.

I eat enough saurkraut and yogurt and don't need probiotics. I use NOW brand, Solgar for a stress level B and sometimes Country Life. My multi is a store brand, Wegmans.

The pills are large and hard to swallow for some. Plus you need to take 6 of them a day. Them seem to work for some members of my family but others aren't so sure. Also, the pills have no iron (apparently some celiacs can't handle it), so if you need iron you have to take it separately.

      New Celiac Disease patient & new to this group-Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kimmy88! Most toothpastes are actually gluten-free. Most meds are gluten free. There are lists available for most prescription meds to determine if they contain gluten as an intentional ingredient. Google. Remember, "gluten free" does not mean "contains no gluten" it just means it contains less than a certain parts per million of gluten, in the USA that's < than 20 ppm for food items. For meds it may not be the same standard. And for generic meds, you would need to contact manufacturers. Pharmacies can give you contact info. Trace amounts from cross contamination may not be an issue unless you are in the subset of super sensitive celiacs.

      Untreated celiac

      Kidney issues? What makes you say that?  Villi can take up to two or three years to completely heal in mature adults adhering to a strict gluten free diet. Less time for younger people like you. Get antibody levels checked about every 6 months.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Hi everyone, I am on a mission to figure find the source of a hidden gluten in my diet, and I would greatly appreciate help. I have been diagnosed with celiac disease for 17+ years, NEVER had an issue, has always had "perfect" numbers and after healing, no damage to my intentional lining (had an endoscopy done a month ago which did not show any signs of damage). My son, who also has celiac disease has perfect numbers, and is my "blind study" on this mission. Over the past year my IgG numbers have gone up from 3 to 93 (normal range under 15), my IgA is 1.5 (normal range below 15, and has not changed all this time). At first I thought it might be my "new" (started a year ago) Progesterone pills, which I checked were gluten-free before starting. I spoke to Aurobindo (the manufacturer) and they assured me that there is no gluten in the pills, but cannot state they are gluten-free.  I have asked in this forum regarding the pills to see if anyone else is having an issue, which does not seem to be the case and it does not seem likely that they are the culprit. I have stopped eating lunch at my job (which I have done previously without issue for 10+ years) to see if that would make a difference. After 3 months of bringing my own lunch, I can report that that was not the culprit either. I do not eat out, eat home cooked meals, in a 100% gluten-free kitchen and have never in my first 16 years of diagnosis had any problems at all. My latest idea is that perhaps it could be the Crunchmaster multigrain crackers, something that my son does not eat. The crackers are certified gluten free and have been my go-to food for a long time - but could they really be the problem?  I am at my witts end but I am determined to find the source of the problem. The strange thing is I have NO signs of being glutened (I am very sensitive and get a reaction at the slightest crosscontamination = mouth ulcers and the worse), and as I said, have no damage to my intestine.  Any suggestions?? Thank you all for your help.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, not something one "outgrows"; the historical belief that children did has been completely debunked by modern science. The immune response to gluten is lifelong. Furthermore, the idea that a strong immune system can "subdue" celiac disease is incorrect—the disease is the immune system mistakenly attacking the body. Symptoms manifest due to this autoimmune response, not because the immune system is too weak to suppress it. Finally, wheat is not chemically addictive, though the habit of eating it can be powerful and difficult to break. While maintaining adequate Vitamin D is crucial for overall immune function and bone health in celiac patients, this theory overstates its role. Vitamin D deficiency is a common consequence of celiac disease due to malabsorption in a damaged gut, not a proven root cause of its onset. The claim that high-dose Vitamin D can effectively neutralize the systemic autoimmune reaction to gluten is not supported by clinical evidence; a strict gluten-free diet remains the only known treatment. Furthermore, recommending a daily intake of 10,000 IU is potentially dangerous without medical supervision, as it can lead to hypercalcemia and kidney damage, despite newer, higher safety thresholds.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Thank you for your comment Daisyskd - I do not have a soy or peanut allergy (I have many others, but not these) so that was never a concern for me. I still have not figured out where my high numbers are coming from. Had an endoscopy done, which shows NO damage (yay) but my high numbers are still unexplainable. Very frustrating. I have a meeting with my celiac doc this week and I am very curious as to what he might suggest.
